Christmas II: Borchardtorama

Part one of our journey took us to Lawrence, KS, the home of Paul's parents, Ron and Pam.

While Paul finished up work before the holidays, Pam and I tried to help Max bake his first batch of Christmas cookies. Of course, he sported the adorable apron that Kelly got him (I have a matching one). We made it through a batch or so before the boy moved on to other things...





After Paul and Ron came home, the present opening began.
Appetizer: Hot Wheels, Trucks, Whistle


Main Course 1: Bean Bag Chair

Side Course: Daddy's needs.

Vegetables: Clothes that you always get but only on the way to more toys.

Enjoying all the gifts at once, including the Boston Patriot hat from Rob and Sara.


After a yummy-delicious dinner of cranberry chicken, we gave Max a bath and let him open a few more surprises.
From the Bostonians - a Percy!

How many Borchardt men does it take to open the box??


Loot!

Little People...

After Max went to bed, the real party began.

After a good night's sleep, we awoke to a breakfast of fresh fruit and a tasty Christmas Tree pastry from Munchers. And bacon. Lots of bacon. Yummm.

Dessert: Kelly and Phil gave Max more Thomas the Train gear. We had to save it for the morning after, otherwise, the kid would have never slept.

Grandpa and Max having a final discussion on the merits of Little People construction equipment.

And some carols before leaving for Wichita.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas...
